By pressing and holding the DSC button for longer than 3 seconds the DSC function switches off completely and the DSC symbol is illuminated in the instrument cluster. The ABS function is always on line.

The DSC function is reactivated by briefly pressing the DSC button once again. The visual symbol goes out. The DSC symbol flashing signals to the driver that a DSC control intervention is active. By cycling the ignition switch, DTC will be deactivated and DSC is automatically on line (DTC or DSC deactivation must be reselected by the driver).
